Dove Allouche

Dove Allouche was born in 1972 in Sarcelles, he lives and works in Paris.

“My works essentially consists in undertaking a task, by which and after which I will be able, for myself, to find something I had not first seen. I don’t try to reveal things that are absolutely buried, forgotten for hundreds or thousands of years, nor to find what was hidden by others, a secret someone try to hide. I don’t try to discover a new meaning concealed in things and discourses. No, I simply try to reveal what is immediately present and invisible at the same time. My approach is of a presbyope. I would like to reveal what is too close from our sight to be seen, what is here right next to us, but through which we watch to watch something else. Seize « the invisibility of what is too visible » as Foucault would say.”
